The Open Men’s Circle - Held Every 3 Weeks on Wednesday

This space is for men of all backgrounds, men of color reclaiming ancestral strength, and white men doing the deep work of decolonization and unlearning patriarchy.

We build through practice of empathy, accountability, and connection.

Dear Community,

In the spirit of healing and collective empowerment, I invite you to my offering to the men who are seeking solace with other brothers. These gatherings are a sanctuary where we connect with our roots, honor our journeys, and support each other in our paths.

This circle is for men who:

  • Feel the weight of “holding it all together” and seek a space to release and renew.

  • Want to break free from emotional isolation and build authentic connections with other men.

  • Are curious about their emotional landscape but aren’t sure where to start.

  • Desire to lead their lives with humility, empathy, and grounded strength.

  • Are ready to explore vulnerability as a source of resilience, not weakness.

  • Feel called to challenge old narratives of masculinity and embrace a fuller, more authentic self.

Whether you’re taking your first step into this work or continuing your personal journey, this space is designed to meet you where you are. You don’t have to have the “right words”, just the willingness to show up as you are.

Why Emotional Exploration in Men's Groups is Crucial for Personal Growth and Cultural Change

In a world shaped by patriarchal norms, many men have been conditioned to suppress their emotions, leaving them disconnected from their internal experiences. To truly shift patriarchal culture, men must reclaim their emotional intelligence in the company of other men, in a safe, supportive environment.

Exploring our emotional dimensions in a group setting allows us to do this work systematically and organically. Slowly integrating emotional experiences within a trusted circle of men enables us to tap into the lost intelligence of the body, our felt-sense. This emotional navigation is crucial for empathy, not just with others, but with ourselves.

By embracing our full emotional spectrum, we foster humility and strength. The insights we gain in these groups positively impact our actions and behaviors in the world, aligning them with empathy, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to others. This is how we, as men, can break free from outdated ideals and start living with true emotional integrity.

A Gesture of Support

As we come together, we also invite you to support this sacred space. Your donations (Suggested $20) help sustain our gatherings, ensuring that we can continue to offer this vital communal healing space. However, please know that your presence is the most valued contribution. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Daniel

*Full Moon Ceremony on June 11 & November 5

A couple of the Wednesdays in 2025 fall within the full moon. And during the cycles of the moon, we also honor the cycles within ourselves—our challenges, our growth, and our ongoing journey towards healing and empowerment. Together, we will perform a full moon release ceremony.

What to Bring

  • Pen & Paper

  • Candle or Lighter

  • Offering for any of your ancestors. When considering offerings to ancestors, it's helpful to think about items that hold symbolic significance or were valued by those ancestors in their lifetimes. Offerings can serve as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, embodying respect, remembrance, and connection.
